John Prescott speaking at The ICD Reykjavík Congress on Human Rights 2013 Norðurljós, Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center (Iceland, Reykjavík, April 10th - 13th, 2013)
John Prescott is a British politician who was the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007.
Biography
In the 1994 he became deputy leader of the Labour party. He was appointed Deputy Prime Minister after Labour’s victory in the 1997 election, with an expanded role as Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions. Prescott also developed a reputation as a key conciliator in the often tense relationship between Tony Blair and the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown. In 2010 he entered the House of Lords as a life peer with the title “Baron Prescott, of Kingston upon Hull in the County of East Yorkshire”.
Education
He then went to the independent Ruskin College in Oxford, which specialises in courses for union officials, where he gained a diploma in economics and politics in 1965. In 1968, he obtained a BSc in economics and economic history at the University of Hull.
